For Las Blancas, disaster! Real Madrid loses 2-1 to PSG to exit the Women's Champions League group stages.

 Madrid knew that only a win or a draw would keep their European aspirations alive going into their penultimate group match. Elisa de Almeida gave PSG the lead after only 15 minutes, and a Kadidiatou Diani penalty added insult to injury an hour later. Nine minutes left to play, Athenea del Castillo's goal gave them one more chance, but goal-shy Las Blancas were unable to score again, sending them out of the Champions League early.

The WSL champion Chelsea and the current French leaders PSG were put in the same group as Las Blancas, which made it difficult for them to advance. 


They will be unhappy with their competition performance anyway. Madrid has only scored twice since defeating Vllaznia 2-0 in their opening match, and they were unable to build on a valiant 1-1 draw with Chelsea against PSG earlier this month. Alberto Toril's team will now be focused on the difficult challenge of reducing Barcelona's lead at the top of the Liga F standings as their Champions League campaign is gone. Barcelona has won all 12 of their games to date and destroyed Madrid 4-0 in November.
